VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SherlottaEryut]

I really just can't wait for the patch, and for everyone to see that hrothgars will actually be able to change hairstyle without fantasia, just so these senseless discussions will stop.

I mean we kind of have a right to be sceptical about 6.1 considering its taken them 2 years to sort it out... Also 6.0 we were given 6 questionably "popular" hairstyles so everyone's expecting SE to deliver the bare minimum for Hrothgar too.

Expect less then you won't be as disappointed.

It just doesn't make any sense they'd update hrothgar hairstyles and mantain this limitation. It would be like them adding new hairstyle options for hrothgar as an update feature and being, "wanna use the much requested feature from this update? better pay $10". Also, they need to make hroths have a normal hair selection system because of female hrothgars. You just know the fem hroths will have hair customization.

I mean, they've already half assed both Viera and Hrothgar.....Im really rooting for them to make it so Hroths dont have to spend money to change their hair, but with how V/H have been treated in the past, Im also kind of expecting them to just....drop the ball. Granted, there arent many hrothgar players compared to other races, but I will certainly raise hell all over these forums if that "problem" isn't addressed

It's best to set yourself up for nothing happening towards Hrothgar or Viera changes until it's set in stone- you won't be disappointed that way. I've honestly given up & expect any relevant changes to happen when the next expansion comes around, and it will likely be changes noone asked for.
I remember when there was a giant male viera request thread, people would post "asking for male viera means Female Viera & Male Hrothgar won't get updates"- fast forward, here we are & folks have the surprised pikachu face because Female Viera & male Hrothgar still remain mostly untouched or given features(hairstyles) we aren't satisfied with because it's not what we asked for. (Male Viera should have come much later, btw)

I do not think what everyone is asking for here will ever be properly delivered - they seem to drop the ball in some way on every type of optional feature- And character customization is an optional feature.
Character customization is content many of us consider a main feature or wish it was an important project for the XIV team- atleast for me, having a good character creator is as important as lasting gameplay content.

The only thing I can hope we all do is keep pushing for suggestions & changes constructively.
Bump threads like this & give valuable feedback.

What I'd like to see is Viera Specific hairstyles- give Viera hairstyles we've seen in XII & Tactics- alot of long hair, wavy hair & more short hair variations (optional diadem & flowers). Finish adding the mog station hairstyles & reward hairstyles as well.
Give Hrothgar more hairstyles & make the Aesthetician accessible so they can change their hair WITHOUT spending real money.
Alot of Future headgear should be prioritized around Viera & Hrothgar- that way it's visible & other races would be able to wear it as well- or even have the skins look different on viera/ hroth & diff on the previous races. MMO's I know that do this are Blade & Soul, Black Desert & Guild Wars 2 & it works out.

I expect nothing anymore. I held a candle for unique hair, and the wait would have been worth it. Viera hairstyles are some of my favourites in the game and are very striking. Seeing them give us Modern Aesthetics was just the nail in the coffin of my hopes that they would ever hold up this bargain.

It's either give us all of it or give us our exclusives. I didn't think the latter was too much to ask for.

If you write your post again, but in angry Japanese, maybe SE will notice. But be careful, you might make a dev cry.

At times like these I really do wish I could read Japanese... I'd like to know what they discuss on the forums or if there's a post similar to this one.

Update: I checked out the Japanese forums and a lot of their posts have replies from moderators... I'm so surprised - are we actually ignored? It'd be nice to have a comment from a moderator so I know we're at least heard.

Just use google translate. It makes for some funny reads. But even they ask for viera and hrothgar hairs, albeit vastly different than NA forums.

Remove the ear tuft around our ears when we have workable headgear on, please. At least for myself, it's very noticable with the type of ears I picked and I don't want to have to buy a Fantasia to switch my ear type just so I can have less noticable ear tuft when wearing workable headgear. :<

Viera is the first male race that appeals to me and I love my character now, but I had 40+ headpieces in my glamour storage and like 5 of them works now. I hope that when female Hrothgars are done we can finally have some attention to this issue, starting with Hrothgar being able to change their hairstyle

I'm hoping SE dont even so much as think about Female Hrothgar until the current races are up to scratch... We've waited long enough, it's unacceptable to ignore us (again) just to make another race counterpart.

I do sympathize with SE because when Female Viera and Male Hrothgar were introduced they received backlash from certain people, they actually accused SE of being sexist and god knows what else - so it's probably not something they want to be painted as so understandable. But they clearly don't have the resources to work on two things at once, so genuinely I do think we can wait for Female Hrothgar.
